Good morning friends,It is a beautiful "Fall" morning in Dixieland. Actually, we are getting some really nice, cool temps this am. I have a cute Halloween Treat to share with y'all today. One of my hostess clubs made these this month, they are really simple and cute!

Materials: Chalk Talk Bread Tag framelit, Owl punch, Hexagon punch, Basic Black 1\8 inch ribbon and White Baker's Twine. Cardstock: Whisper White, Basic Black, and Tangerine TangoInk: Basic Black and Tangerine TangoStamp sets: Halloween Hello and Perfectly You Hostess set (131877)Directions: I cut the tag with the Big Shot, Stamped it with the Bat from Halloween Hello in Basic Black.The ghost is made by punching out a white owl with the owl builder punch and trimming off the feet. Use the middle size circles for eyes and the heart for the mouth out of black. The ghost is popped up on a dimensional and attached to the bread tag. The Hey Pumpkin is stamped with Tangerine Tango on a scrape of Whisper White and punched out with the hexagon punch. It is adhered with snail adhesive at the bottom of the tag. The cello bag has 2 graham crackers, 2 chocolate nuggets and a Peep ghost.This is tied with the 1\8 inch Basic Black ribbon and White Bakers Twine.Hope you like this and it inspires you to create a cute Halloween project. Have a blessed day, Thank you for stopping by, I always look forward to your comments- so leave me one!!!Thanks- God Bless you real good.

Do any of you remember that song or games? We played it at school and Girl Scouts back in the dark ages! What you ask does this have to do with my blog post today? Absolutely nothing!!!! Just one of those random memories that come racing back at times. I was pondering a title for this post and kept thinking-another pink card, when all of a sudden I was singing Strut Miss Susie! So, there you go!
Now, on to the business at hand. Yes, another PINK card for the LINK UP for PINK challenge. This one I literally used scraps on my desk from the previous cards I made this month. (That's were the here comes another one...came from)

This picture is not great and I don't know why. The strips were created with the Melon Mambo design washi tape from the Gingham Garden package. The ribbon is also Melon Mambo 1/8 inch striped ribbon with a black brad at the center of the bow. Butterflies and flowers what could be more girly than that. The framelit is labels and the flower from Flower Shop stamp set. Hope you like it.
On another note, until the 21st of Oct. You can join Stampin' Up for only 25.00. If you are interested in ordering your supplies at a discount or building your own business please contact me and let me show you the ropes! I'd love to have you on my team! Thanks for stopping by, God bless you, now go bless those around you and you will be truly blessed.

Hey girls,
I have been having such a good time in my craft room this week, it's unbelievable! Lately, I realized I have been working in here only to get ready for hostess clubs, craft fairs or something pressing. Well, this last week I have just been playing and enjoying stamping and I remembered how much I really love to stamp! It has been relaxing and reinvigorating! The card I am sharing with you today my Stampin' Sistas hostess club did this month. It is also a LINK up for Pink card. So can you guess what color it is? Yep! PINK. Specifically, Strawberry Slush and Pink Pirouette with a little Primrose Petal thrown in and I love it! It's a great girl card without being "too girly". Let me know what you think. I alway enjoy your comments. Stamp sets are Simply Stars and Bootiful Occasions. God bless and have a great day.

I have discovered I kinda like a challenge! Maybe that's why I'm addicted to Candy Crush on facebook these days! A challenge gets my mind thinking and my creative juices flowing. It's the best way to find my MOJO after a dry spell, so lately I have been doing a stamping challenge almost everyday and have really enjoyed it. Today I have one for Pals Paper Arts, it is color challenge 174. Hope you love this card, I used the masking tape technique and also colored the ribbon Very Vanilla seam binding with Pumpkin Pie ink. Stamp set is Blooming with Kindness, great set, I stamped the flower image in Early Espresso. Thanks for stopping by, Blessings.

Project number 3! I had a goal of doing a project for everyday of the Link up for Pink challenge, However, I discovered I can't keep up with that pace. So, day 5 and I'm posting project 3. Really, this is not bad for me, who has trouble posting more than once a month! I Love this card. It also showcases Stampin' Up's new envelope punch board (#133774).The envelope punch board not only makes 66 different size envelopes, but you can also make a lot of other really cool projects with it. Today's project is a file folder card. It's also a pocket card. It was a lot of fun to create. The pocket holders two cute tags with sentiments.

Card stock is Melon Mambo, Pear Pizzazz and Whisper White. I used the Flower Shop Bundle,
(stamp set and punch #132726 for the clear mount). The word set is a great set called Fabulous Phrases(#120501). This card used lots of embellishments, we have punches, dimensionals, rhinestones, washi tape( #129314),Hung up cute clips (#129389). Also , the great Designer Series Paper is Gingham Garden(#129310).
Hope you like it! To buy these Stampin' Up projects, please visit my online store. gotta go. Have a great weekend, go be a blessing to someone today!And, you will be truly blessed.

Happy Thursday Friends,Today is the Women of Hope Banquet lead by a sweet lady in my Sunday School Class. She is a Breast Cancer Survivor and has turned her difficult times into a ministry to help other families through the rocky road of treatment and recovery. Thanks Marie Ashmore! So, I created another card for Link Up to Pink. I am really pleased with this card and I hope you will like it too. I played with Melon Mambo today to get my pink on! It is a bright and happy color! I love the saying in this stamp set. I almost forgot to tell you, I made the envelope with our new envelope punch board!!!! This card is 5 1/2 by 5 1/2 so I needed a custom envelope.
